Jigghead Posted May 4, 2016 Share I have almost a complete 26"bike that I was planning to use to build a single speed. I really have bugger all time and so after a few years need to accept that I'll need to make an alternative plan for my SS It's effectively a medium Merida Matt TFS 300. Missing very few parts but I have complete wheel sets, seat post, stem, saddle, handlebars, brakes (hydraulic), cranks and a lot of other stuff. You'll make my wife very happy if you take it off my hands. EDIT: I see you have a venue at the bike park. I'll drop the stuff off for you. The frame has most of the paint stripped, I was really gonna pimp it Edited May 4, 2016 by Jigghead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted May 5, 2016 Share Thanks Jigghead, much appreciated! Just tell the bike park reception that it's for Build a Bike. Please let me know when you've dropped it off so that I can get it ready for donation ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted May 10, 2016 Share This is Gift, a gardener who works in Paulshof and lives in Alexandra. Today his life got a bit easier. We gave him this bike so that he can now ride instead of walk. Edge540 and scotty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter-morgan Posted May 16, 2016 Share Nelson with his new bike. I never get tired of seeing the smiles when these guys get a new bike from us. My gardener cried when I gave him one of my bikes.(not because it was so bad, he was just overjoyed) divernick and Gandalf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted July 22, 2016 Share Here are the bikes I built on #MandelaDay. So with more than 70 bikes built and donated I've decided that the natural progression of this initiative is that I should take it on full-time. Scary. Especially considering that I'm the bread-winner in the family and have 2 small sons. The only way I can see this work is to get some kind of corporate sponsorship. If anyone has contacts that could help me, please pass them on Gandalf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
